Thanks for the feedback.
After installation, acrord32 is listed as the viewer for all PDF file
types. However, the "path prefix" entry in Edit | Preferences | Paths
is a bit odd. What I see is:
C:\Program
Files\LyX\bin;C:\PROGRA~1\Python23;C:\TeX\MiKTeX\miktex\bin;C:\gs\gs8.13\bin;C:\Program
Files\ImageMagick-6.0.3-Q16;C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat

Oh seems that I compiled the path_prefix.dll in a wrong way. I'll check
this. But good to know that the pdf stuff works for you too.
I loaded a document containing JPG images and exported it successfully
to DVI, from which I infer that ImageMagick is being found (on my C:
drive), the errant path prefix notwithstanding. "Successful" here means
that yap could view the entire file, including the images. However,
when I try to View | DVI, something goes wrong. LyX runs yap, which
loads the DVI file and displays the first page; but when I try to scroll
to the second page (where the first graphic appears), I get an MSVC++
runtime error saying that yap asked to terminate "in an unusual way".
Such an error could appear with older Yap versions, but:
I looked in the temporary buffer directory. The .tex file refers to
images as "C:/.../obnoxiously_long_filename".eps (note that the
extension is .eps and that it is outside the quotation marks
seems to be the problem. It could be a problem of the wrong paths. I'll
check this.
thanks and regards Uwe
